Let’s just get this humble-brag out of the way now: ย I’m REALLY good at making sandwiches. ย It’s mostly just about piling delicious things onto fresh bread. ย It’s not really rocket surgery.
Making a sandwich for someone is dang important. ย A good sandwich can’t be faked. Avocado must be ripe. ย Bacon must be crisp. ย Produce must be fresh and cheese must be perfectly melty.
It’s a science… but it’s not a science at all. ย It’s just a sandwich, but it’s important.
Can we just talk about sandwiches? ย K. Thanks.
I call this sandwich The Ultimate Club because it’s totally top-shelf.
We’ve got crisp Black Forest Bacon, whole grain mustard, ripe tomatoes, baby spinach, roasted turkey, and ripe avocado. ย Wait.. did I mention melty Brie Cheese!? ย Yea… it’s serious.
Mustard is smeared. ย Brie and turkey are piled generously.
Flavor layering, featuring BACON!
Bacon should probably be on every sandwich ever, including this Peanut Butter Pickle Sandwich. ย Yea… I went there.
Only two things could make this sandwich better: ย avocado and grilling. ย We’re going to make both happen. ย Duh!
By now you may know that I have a serious obsession with outrageous sandwiches. ย I’ve madeย Spinach and Artichoke Grilled Cheese,ย , French Onion Soup Sandwiches, and Pepper Jack Spicy Grilled Cheese. ย ย Seriously delicious. ย like whoa.
This Ultimate Club is easily one of my new favorites. ย It has everything a good lunch sandwich should have and it feels like a total treat! ย Served with fresh cherries, potato chips, and a Dr. Pepper… come on. ย Get in my life, for real.
The Ultimate Club Sandwich
makes 1 sandwich
2 slices good bread
whole grain mustard
Brie cheese, rind and all
thinly sliced roasted turkey
2 slices crisp cooked bacon
sliced tomato
baby spinach leaves
ripe avocado, sliced
butter for grilling
You know how to make a killer sandwich. ย You don’t need any help from me. ย But… while we’re here, let’s just spell this out.
Spread two slices of bread with whole grain mustard. ย Top one of the bread slices with a bit of Brie cheese (rind and all). ย Top the Brie bread with a bit of fresh baby spinach leaves and a few tomato slices. ย On the other slice of mustard covered bread, add roasted turkey slices. ย Top with cooked bacon and sliced avocados.
Smash the two slices of bread together.
In a medium saute pan, melt a bit of butter over medium heat. ย Grill sandwich until golden on each side. ย Serve warm. ย It’s yummy. ย

We had this for lunch this weekend (with a couple small variations due to ingredient availability) and it was SO GOOD. My husband even asked where I got the idea for this sandwich! :) Thanks for yet another fantastic sandwich – I love good sandwiches (especially when cheese is melted in perfect creamy gooeyness around the other luscious ingredients!)!
sandwiches are by far, without a doubt, my favorite food, so I always love when you post about them [three days “on toast” made me love this blog and you more than I already did – fantastic posts!!!]
I’m baking a cake for my grandmother’s upcoming birthday – a simple white cake & buttercream icing. what is a creative way I could decorate the cake? thank you Joy!
I couldn’t have picked a better day to visit your blog. I LOVE MAKING SANDWICHES! I sometimes think I ought just to get a job in an upmarket Subway or something …
It really is time I tried some new combinations – this post has really inspired me :) Thank you

Not only are you really good at making sandwiches, but you also are a pro at cooking bacon. Seriously, that is mouth watering bacon perfection!
I’m not a huge sandwich fan, but all of a sudden I really want one. This is definitely going on the I need to eat list.
omg joy. i am so craving a club now.
holy cow.
and would totally add a fried egg.
I totally agree but would have to say I think I’d be better at making sandwiches than you..I know it’s a bold statement but seriously it’s kinda science, from the bread which is really important to how you season each layer. Yup I’m prettttyyy good at making sandwiches. Let’s open a sandwich truck!!
This looks incredible, I can’t get enough of avocados at the moment and this combination looks perfect!
“its not rocket surgery” is my new favorite phrase. and i think this might be my new favorite sandwich!
Bacon and avocado … yum! This is my dream sandwich.
Simple and easy to make ! I love it !
Avocado!

Bread!
Brie!

Hey, Joy.
Thank you so much for this sandwich recipe. I love club sandwiches and very often order them in cafes or restaurants.
But after reading your post – I thought “why not to make it myself?”
Thanks

Pretty please try it and write about it…not much help with
‘it looks great’…we already know that!!
I don’t like putting the mustard onto the bread cus I find it becomes soggy therefore I tend to spread the mustard once I have the spinach leaves and turkey laid out. I find this helps keep it fresh for a weekday work lunch!
